    The amount of people in my cohort last year that said that and passed you wouldn't believe!!
    I was one of them, I was convince I'd failed on blood pressure, and that was one of my highest scores!!

    What were they on?

    We had aspetic technique (sterile pack opening, hand washing and putting sterile gloves on), breastfeeding, giving an IM injection and an abdominal palpation. I think the breastfeeding one may be ok but I ruined the aseptic one and on the palpation I didn't hear a heartbeat but didn't say anything about it and I know I should have :( The injection one was a shambles too x

    Ah yours are completely different to ours!! My first year ones were BP, pulse and resps, handwashing and basic life support!!

    You don't have to get 100% to pass though usually, so even though you think you messed up, if the rest of it was right then you'll be fine :)
